Too far out but possibly a very good draw play here.

Remember they haven't had cricket for ages and i'm guessing their ground drying skills/equipment won't be the best.

This is the met dept website for Pakistan. They tell you everything, except the weather!

maybe the 3 days rain radar is the best thing on the website.

Draw 2.64

Best not to lay this with so many unknowns.

Looking at the charts the rain seems like it will arrive late afternoon on Thursday and clear Friday morning.
Probably lose 90 overs and make back 18 or so (net 80 lost)
Each day they are starting early in the morning as it's winter and it will get dark quickly in the early evening.
Therefore the pitch could well be juicy on the first session of each day.
Not seen any pics of the deck yet so will wait.
Missed the big draw move as I was busy all weekend and I am not overly excited by this test!

Any more updates on rain looks like it could affect 3days. Unsure about the forecast in pak.

I have a healthy 230 Euro green on all results. Result odds have been floating around like crazy for a few days.

It's never a train with Pakistan. They may want to collapse early and lump on the draw themselves. It usually doesn't drizzle in Islamabad. Just pours down like crazy for half an hour. The question is how quickly they can get the ground ready again. Or are willing to get it ready again.

Don't go red on the draw would be my advice.

Crazy start to the match odds wise, all over the shop

Did you enjoy NZ Tom?

By:

tomtimtum When: 11 Dec 19 05:19

Loved it, fantastic country, its like the UK without all the bad stuff!
Was fkin hot at the cricket tho, no shade at all!

By:

jucel69 When: 11 Dec 19 05:20

bit like Oz there is no ozone! You can get crispy super quick

By:

tomtimtum When: 11 Dec 19 05:21

They said it was low 20s but it was absolutely roasting

By:

jucel69 When: 11 Dec 19 05:21

the cricket wasn't great was it, how Eng lost on that last day will be remembered as one of the worst ever

I've found all the Oz grounds really oppressive and searingly hot, apart from the MCG where you can get out of the sun easily
Not been to NZ, will do at some point!

Cricket was pretty dull yeah, watching Watling bat forever enough to put anyone to sleep.
Was some good stuff tho, our batting looks like it has some potential, Root played fantastic at Hamilton and Pope looks like a carbon copy of him.
Bowling looks dire tho, Archer looked non threatening and we've got no chance of taking 20 wickets on flat pitches with this attack

By:

jucel69 When: 11 Dec 19 05:25

yeh agree

By:

jucel69 When: 11 Dec 19 05:25

going to SA?

By:

tomtimtum When: 11 Dec 19 05:26

Going to the 3rd and 4th matches yeah, was not looking forward to it after that **** show at the bay oval, bit more positive after that 2nd test.
SAF going downhill pretty fast these days so I reckon we've got a decent chance

They absolutely love the brits there! Couldn't believe how friendly they were towards me.
Nearly everyone I met had either lived in the UK for a long period of time or married a brit or had a son or daughter who had married a brit

The Edge
(165)
7.4
1h 31min
2019
Between 2009 and 2013, England's Test cricket team rose from the depths of the rankings to become the first and only English side to reach world number one. The Edge tells the story of this special band of brothers' rise to the top and the huge toll it would take. Compelling, funny and emotional, The Edge is Test cricket like you've never seen it before.
